RedBox Gets Ready for Online Delivery November 3, 2010 Michael Luu Brianna Olson Megan Walker
Moving Digital • Implementing a new “digital strategy” for 2011 • Similar to Netflix and Blockbuster • Allow for added convenience • Currently offers around 600 titles • 28,900 existing kiosks
Business Issues • Retail Pricing • DVDs currently rent for $1 per night due to no contract fees • Future charges of $4-$6 for streaming digital new releases • Convenience of streaming digital may make up for the price change in consumer’s minds
Social and Behavioral Issues • Watching DVDs is a “shared” experience • PC delivery is not so good for such viewing • Even when viewing is personal, consumers may be drawn toward the higher quality a TV can offer
Ecosystem Issues • Consumers must purchase the necessary equipment for streaming digital • X-box • Playstation • Wii • This can be costly • With a limited library purchasing such equipment might not be cost effective
Pros and Cons Pros Cons Cost Set Up Rentals Limited DVD titles Competition Netflix Blockbuster • Convenience • Expand RedBox presence in the industry
